#46 Arctic Monkeys – The View From The Afternoon

1 comentario

El fenómeno de los Arctic Monkeys empezó a mediados del 2005. Daban sus demos gratis en sus conciertos, se hablaba de ellos en blogs, se pasaban ligas en myspace, se compartían canciones en foros. Sacaron I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor y llego al #1. Tuvieron un concierto en el Astoria de Londres con solo un single en el mercado y la gente ya coreaba todas las canciones. El disco debut mas rápidamente vendido en la historia de Inglaterra. El cuál empieza con esta canción.

Arctic Monkeys – The View From The Afternoon

Anticipation has the habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there’ll be a rawkus,YEAH! regardless of what’s gone before
I want to see all of the things that we’ve already seen
The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
And course its fancy dress
And they’re all looking quite full on
In bunny ears and devil horns and hats

Anticipation has the habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there’ll be a rawkus,YEAH! regardless of what’s gone before

I want to see all of the things that we’ve already seen
I want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You’ve got to understand it you can never beat the bandit no

And she won’t be surprised and she won’t be shocked
When she’s pressed the star after she’s pressed unlock
And there’s verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you’ve drank a lot
and You should bear that in mind tonight
bear that in mind, yeah you should
bear that in mind tonight
bear that in mind.
and You can pour your heart out but her reasoning will block
owt you send her after nine o clock

Anticipation has the habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there’ll be a rawkus,YEAH! regardless of what’s gone before

And she won’t be surprised and she won’t be shocked
When she’s pressed the star after she’s pressed unlock
And there’s verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you’ve drank a lot
and You should bear that in mind tonight
bear that in mind, yeah you should
bear that in mind tonight
bear that in mind.

And you can pour your heart out around 3 o clock
When the 2 for 1’s undone the writers block.

Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?

Pues si, quienes son los Arctic Monkeys? Jaja para estas fechas muchos deben saber acerca de la banda de Sheffield que tiene al Reino Unido en la palma de la mano y que ninguno de sus integrantes pasa de los 21 años. Bueno pues, no solo han debutado una canción nueva en vivo (Leave Before The Lights Come On), si no que dicen que ya mas de la mitad de su segundo album esta escrito, impresionante tomando en cuenta que el primero salio hace menos de 3 meses. Para su nuevo sencillo, The View From The Afternoon, decidieron mejor lanzar un EP de 5 canciones, con dicha cancion como la principal, pero 4 canciones nuevas extra, para que vean que es en serio eso de que estan escribiendo ya el nuevo disco. Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? es el título del EP que sale ya en un par de semanas, y pues ya saben que aquí lo pueden bajar.

Adicionalmente, les dejo la letra de la última canción del EP y que de paso da título al mismo. Según Alex Turner, este es su «manifiesto», y la canción es el punto de vista de él acerca del ascenso meteórico del grupo, las sorpresas y decepciones que han encontrado en la industria discográfica y como ven ellos todo esto. Bajenlo y gracias una vez mas por los comentarios!

Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?

We all want someone to shout for
Yeah, everyone wants somebody to adore
But your heroes aren’t what they seem
When you’ve been where we’ve been

Have I done something to trigger
The funny looks and the sniggers?
Are they there at all, or is it just paranoia?

Everybody’s got their box
Doing what they’re told
You pushed my faith near being lost
But we’ll stick to the guns
Don’t care if it’s marketing suicidal
Won’t crack or compromise
Your do-rights or individes
Will never unhinge us

And there’s a couple of hundred
Think they’re Christopher Columbus
But the settlers had already settled
Yeah, long before ya

Just cos we’re having a say-so
Not lining up to be playdoh
Oh, in five years time, will it be
«Who the fuck’s Arctic Monkeys?»

‘Cause everybody’s got their box
Doing what they’re told
You pushed my faith near being lost
But we’ll stick to the guns
Don’t care if it’s marketing suicidal
Won’t crack or compromise
Your do-rights or individes
Will never unhinge us

(La la la la la, la la)
(La la la la la, la la)
(La la la la la, la la)

All the thoughts that I just said
Will linger round and multiply in their head
Not that mad to start with
I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed

It’s not you it’s them that are wrong
Tell ‘em to take out their tongues
Tell ‘em to take out their tongues…

It’s not you it’s them that are wrong
Tell ‘em to take out their tongues
Tell ‘em to take out their tongues
And bring on the backlash!

It’s not you it’s them that are wrong
Tell him to take out his tongue
Tell him to take out his tongue
It’s not you it’s them that’s the fake
I won’t mess with your escape
Is this really your escape?
